It is a pleasure to announce the PhD school on Cosmology Tools that will take place at the Institute of Theoretical Physics (IFT) in Madrid during the week 13-17 March 2017. In this school several renowned experts on the use of cosmology codes will teach the students how to compile, run and modify several codes (see below), answer technical questions and provide feedback on their problems. Also, the school will provide ample time and opportunities for interaction between the students and the more senior people, thus fostering international collaborations and potentially leading to exciting new projects.

Due to limited space and resources there will be only 25 positions. The registration is now open and will remain open until either the end of December or all spots are filled in a first come-first served basis, with the accepted MSc/PhD students being notified at the latest around early January 2017. There will be no registration fee, but unfortunately no financial support for the students either.

To be accepted, the students will need to have a demonstrated ability to code (shell, Fortran, C etc) and basic knowledge of cosmology. In some cases, reference letters from their advisor may be requested.
